 The 17
Sustainable
Development
Goals
 Focused SDGs

There are 17 SDGs and 169 targets. These are all

important, but the above 3 Sustainable Goals will
be discussed in the following slides.
Goal 8 is about promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth,
employment and decent work for all.
The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated the worst economic crisis in decades
and reversed progress towards decent work for all.
Although the global economy began to rebound in 2021, bringing some
improvement in unemployment, recovery remains elusive and fragile. By the
end of 2021, global economic recovery had been hampered by new waves
of COVID-19 infections, rising inflationary pressures, major supply-chain
disruptions, policy uncertainties and persistent labour market challenges.
Global real GDP per capita was projected to increase by 3 per cent in
2022, but the Ukraine crisis will likely hold growth to 2.1 per cent.
The real GDP for least developed countries is projected to rise by 4.0 per
cent in 2022, and 5.7 per cent in 2023 – still below the 7 per cent target
under the 2030 Agenda.
The global unemployment rate is projected to remain above its 2019 level
of 5.4 per cent, at least until 2023.
Worldwide, 160 million children (63 million girls and 97 million boys) were
engaged in child labour at the beginning of 2020.
Globally, 9 million additional children are at risk of being pushed into child
labour by the end of 2022, compared to 2020, as a result of rising poverty
driven by the pandemic.
 Through initiatives like Make in India, Startup India, Skill India, and Digital India, the Indian government has introduced a number of
programmes to guarantee that people, particularly the young, have access to sustainable employment possibilities.

Here are some updates on SDG 8 in India, focusing on how the country has fared in relation to each goal-related statistic.

1) Target: SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH

Indicator: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Per Capita:

One of the major indicators of the goal is the growth in

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, and in the least
developed countries, it should be 7% per annum. In 2019,
India’s GDP growth per capita was at 4%. The major share
in the growth of GDP in India is from the service sector,
which is more than half. This model is useful in countries
with less population.

With a population of over 1.3 billion, there is a need to

create opportunities in the manufacturing sector.
2) Target: Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through
diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a
focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors by 2030.

Indicator: GDP per capita growth rate per employed person

3) Target: Promote development-oriented policies that support

productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity
and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-,
small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to
financial services.

Indicator: Proportion of informal employment in total employment, by

sector and sex

4) Target: Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour
to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-Year Framework of Programmes
on Sustainable Consumption and Production, with developed countries taking the lead

Indicator: (a) Material footprint, material footprint per capita, and material footprint per GDP
(b) Domestic material consumption, domestic material consumption per capita, and domestic material
consumption per GDP
5) Target: By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and
persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value

Indicator: (a) Average hourly earnings of female and male employees, by occupation, age and persons with disabilities
(b) Unemployment rate, by sex, age and persons with disabilities
6) Target: 2020, substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training

Indicator: Proportion of youth (aged 15-24 years) not in education, employment or training

7) Target: Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the
prohibition and elimination of the worstforms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour
in all its forms

Indicator: Proportion and number of children aged 5‑17 years engaged in child labour, by sex and age
8)Target: Protect labour rights and promote safe 9)Target: By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable
and secure working environments for all workers, tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products
including migrant workers, in particular women
migrants, and those in precarious employment
10) Target: Strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial
services for all

(A) Increase Aid for Trade support for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, including through the Enhanced
Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries

(B) By 2020, develop and operationalize a global strategy for youth employment and implement the Global Jobs Pact of the International
Labour Organization
(B:1) Existence of a developed and operationalized national strategy for youth employment, as a distinct strategy or as part of a national
employment strategy
 Is India on track to achieve SDG 8?
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) launched the ‘Suryamitra Skill Development Programme’ to support training
of 50,000 skilled solar PV technicians.
11% of micro-enterprises expanded their businesses since connecting to a mini-grid, while registering a 13% average increase in
monthly revenues, according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).
Andhra Pradesh- It has launched a campaign of Made in Andhra products due to which more than 500 products will be available
to global retailers.
Maharashtra- To handle the disconnect seen in modern industrial demands and the skill set in which people were trained handle,
the ITI’s in Maharashtra have established a body called Government Industry Thinktank (GIT).
The Government and private sector are also working together to provide best training instructors, teachers to students in
remotest districts.
ICICI Bank-
1. #CEOCONNECT- allows all employees to directly connect and interact with the Managing Director & CEO to gain perspectives on
organisational strategy and philosophy and also share their views and suggestions.
2. SBLP program
L&T- All new vendors at Larsen & Toubro need to sign a combined Code of Conduct (CoC) as a pre-registration requirement. The
combined CoC covers financial as well as environmental and social aspects including human rights, wages and good labour
practices.
SELCO- The aim of the SELCO Solar Energy Access project – a joint initiative with SELCO Solar Pvt (SELCO) and Natural Capital
Partners – is to enhance energy access, primarily for bottom-of-the-pyramid households, by distributing an array of solar
products including solar lighting, solar water heating, and solar PV.
Inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for everyone forms one of the cornerstones of
sustainable development. If India is to achieve this global goal of decent work for all, many more companies will have to come
forward and work collaboratively.
SDG Goal 9
Goal 9 encompasses three
important aspects of
sustainable development: build
resilient infrastructure,
promote sustainable
industrialization and foster
innovation.
SDG 9
 India and Goal 9

The government’s flagship interventions like Make in India and Start Up India as well
as Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Shramev Jayate Karyakram are fuelling innovation
and sustainable industrial and economic development.

Targets

Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and trans-border
infrastructure, to support economic development and human well being, with a focus on affordable and
equitable access for all.

Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise industry’s share of
employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least
developed countries.

Increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises, in particular in developing countries, to
financial services, including affordable credit, and their integration into value chains and markets.
Targets (Contd.)

By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased
resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies
and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective
capabilities.

Enhance scientific research, upgrade the technological capabilities of industrial sectors in all
countries, in particular developing countries, including, by 2030, encouraging innovation and
substantially increasing the number of research and development workers per 1 million people
and public and private research and development spending

Support domestic technology development, research and innovation in developing countries,

including by ensuring a conducive policy environment for, inter alia, industrial diversification and
value addition to commodities.

Significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to

provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in least developed countries by 2020.
 Peace, Justice and Strong Institiutions

Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to "Promote

peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide
access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive
institutions at all levels."

This goal is intended to end violence and promote peace, provide access to
justice for all, and build institutions that are accountable and inclusive.
Targeted efforts under this goal include reducing the number of deaths and
number of people affected by violence, reducing the number of reported
cases of corruption and bribery, and increasing the number of women in
political leadership positions

Feeling unsafe in public can undermine well-being, trust,
and community engagement, hindering development.
From 2016 to 2021, 69 percent of the world's population
felt safe walking alone at night. Latin America and the
Caribbean have the lowest perceived public safety, while
Eastern and South-Eastern Asia have the highest.
According to 2019–2021 data from 106 countries, women
are 10 percentage points less likely than men to feel safe
walking alone at night. Australia, New Zealand, Northern
Africa, and Western Asia have a 27-percentage-point
gender gap (a 17-percentage-point difference).

Corruption hurts national economies by hindering

businesses worldwide. Public officials request bribes from
almost 1 in 6 businesses worldwide, usually for electrical
and water connections, construction permits, import
licences, operating licences, and tax meetings. Bribery
varies regionally. Eastern and South-Eastern Asia and LDCs
have the highest bribery rate—about 30% of businesses—
while Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe and
Northern America have the lowest—9% and 8%,
respectively. By making business processes like permit and
licence applications and payments online and transparent,
policymakers can reduce bribery.
